I tend to agree. But I’m waiting for all the defenders of freedom of the press who were upset when the IRC shut down al-Arabiya for helping Saddam Hussein incite murder in Iraq why this case was different. If you can punish “speech” as murder afterwards, why can’t you stop it at the time?

UpdateJuan non-Volokh thinks the convictions were “richly deserved,” but worries — reasonably, I think — about the risk that the precedent set in this case might be extended to what he calls “less stark” cases.
